Fernando Sor: 6 Valses, Op. 44 bis

This recording grew out of my admiration for the music of Spanish guitar virtuoso Fernando Sor (1778-1839). Here are recordings of the six valses of Sor’s Op. 44 bis. (Through the miracle of overdubbing, I play both parts.) Although Sor intended these as easy teaching pieces, they’re also surprisingly rich studies in musicianship. I hope you enjoy hearing them as much as I enjoyed playing them. If you’re interested, I’ve written a series of short essays on each of these recordings.
